Our (grumpy) editor once noted that MySQL and Real Player had been certified LSB:

what's the point?

Search me...
A while back, I became convinced that the LSB was a conspiracy to get all the people
interested in running closed-source software on GNU/Linux distributions involved in a project
that
  a) required vast amounts of time and energy to run and
  b) was doomed to fail,
thus minimizing the harm they could do. I haven't seen anything since then that would make me
change my mind.
